Coraggio Italia (lit. 'Courage Italy' or 'Cheer up Italy'[1], CI), is a centre-right political party and coalition in Italy, launched in May 2021.[2] Its president is Luigi Brugnaro, mayor of Venice, while its vice presidents are deputy Marco Marin, senator Gaetano Quagliariello and Giovanni Toti, president of Liguria.[3][4]

History[]

In February 2021, amid the formation of Mario Draghi's national unity government, Cambiamo! (C!), a liberal-conservative party led by Giovanni Toti, started to attract new members from the more centrist wing of Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia (FI).[5]

In May 2021, Toti and Luigi Brugnaro, mayor of Venice, announced the formation of a new political party mainly composed by outgoing members of FI,[6] as well as Gaetano Quagliariello's Identity and Action (already connected with C!), a splinter from the Five Star Movement (M5S), a splinter from the League (who later came back to her former party),[7] and three deputies previously affiliated with the centre-left Democratic Centre (CD).[8]

During the press conference in which he and Toti launched the new party, Brugnaro thanked Berlusconi, describing him as a "brave leader", but also added that the centre-right "has to move on, it is another era".[9]
